What can I do with this integration?

You can pull in data from multiple tables/databases as data sources on Onvo to build your dashboards and reports. Any datasource using the PostgreSQL integration will be kept in sync with the underlying data to keep your dashboards live.

You can create beautiful, interactive dashboards using your PostgreSQL data. Just ask for the kind of visualization you want in natural language to create a widget on the dashboard. You can also ask for data pre-processing before visualization. We also allow for questions in natural language to your data on PostgreSQL.

Once you are happy with your dashboard, you can integrate them into your products with the SDK.

How do I create a dashboard using multiple tables?

On Onvo, you can do this in two ways:

  1. You can write an SQL query with a join on a single datasource so that the datasource has all the relevant data to begin with.
  2. You can optionally create 2 separate data sources and make sure you mention the field used to correlate the data in the "fields" tab. This will enable the AI to write the necessary code to join the data without having to write complicated join queries.

Config parameters

host
string

Database server address (e.g., "localhost" or "192.168.1.1").

port
string

Port number for connecting to the PostgreSQL database server (e.g., "5432").

user
string

Database username for authentication (e.g., "myuser").

password
string

Password for connecting to the PostgreSQL database server.

database
string

Name of the target database (e.g., "mydatabase").

query
string

SQL query to execute on the PostgreSQL database. Example: "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE column = 'value'".

Security considerations

It is recommended to set up a separate user on your PostgreSQL database with just read access to the tables you require for your dashboard. In addition, if possible, restrict the incoming IP addresses to the database.

If you do restrict access by IP addresses, make sure to whitelist 35.209.78.5 for Onvo AI to access your database.
